Hiya,

I passed my CBT a couple of months ago, and I'm looking for a 125. I'd be selling it again in 6 months or thereabouts, so I don't want to break the bank, my budget is 600 quid.

I'm in London. I'm not too bothered about the make or the age as long as it's reliable.

Thanks very much!

Mine's still up for grabs. It's a bit more than your budget but thought it was worth a shot:

You'll lose more on than Hongdou when you sell it, than if you bought an older proper CG, or any mainstream brand for that matter. Thumbs Up
